I admit it. We are color and texture nerds over here. Yarn stores are my happy place. I have to coo over all the colors and pet everything. My niece and I just went to the local fiber fair and it was magnificent! I definitely found my tribe of people there. So many yarns and fleeces and crafted goods. There were spinning displays (an admirable skill that I don't have the patience for), weaving demonstrations (a nifty skill I picked up during the covid quarantines) and so many knitting needles and crochet hooks. It was glorious! I also learned to dye wool during the covid shutdowns, so I now dye most of the yarns I use in-house. But I couldn't leave the fair empty-handed. And because I am a baby photographer I came home with goodies to turn into props. As one does. HA!

The red fluff is roving mixed with silk scraps. It is so vibrant and interesting to look at. I'm not sure exactly what we will do with it, but I loved that it was so colorful. The purple yarn is wool mixed with sari silk scraps. I've never knitted with silk before, so this should be interesting. The blue-green is stunning in real life. I'm pondering what to do with it as well. A layer or scarf maybe. We'll see.
